Rev. Mr.. Holderby, DR.. r. NJ. Smith,
Rev. Earnest Stevens, and Rev. John
McGill had conference last night at
the residence of the latter for the pur-
pose of organizing Young Mems
Christian Association for the town of
Ashland. Much interest was shown,
and arrangements will be made at once
for carrying out the plan. The parlor
OF the College Association was offered,
but it was decided to hold the first
meeting in the Town Hall.
President Smith has returned from
another trip in the interest of the col
lege endowment. He succeeded in rails
ing $1,000 more in the city of Rich
mond.
The mock senate held last Friday
night in the Washington Hall proved
a perfect success, and the Society has
determined to repeat the same next Fri
day night. The prohibition bill was
ably discussed for two hours, and there
was some eloquence shown on the part
of several senator's.
in the contest for defamation prize
offered by Captain Richard Irby in the
franklin Literary Society last Friday
night the prize was awarded TO Mr.. w.
T. Davis, of Petersburg.
The proposed feld-day on the first
Saturday in May is the subject of talk
among the students and two additional
prizes have been offered during the
week.
Mr.. II. ID. Perkins, for some time the
assistant postmaster here, expects to
leave for Birmingham, Ala, in short
time.
Revival services will be held in the
Town Hall every night next week, and
will in turn be led by the ministers of
every denomination in the town.
The travel through here over the At
lantic Coast Line is very heavy, and it
is estimated that fully six thousand
passengers have been en- route in the
past three weeks.

The Drummers, Convention.

This body will meet here May the
I'd. The Richmond members OF the
organization are naturally DESTROYS of
giving the visitors becoming welcome
and to do this they must have money.
To get money they will tax themselves
much and for the rest have to look to
the public-spirited people of this city.
The convention will widely advertise
Richmond to get a good name from a
battalion OF drummers is worth an ef-
fort. Therefore it is hoped that mer-
chants and others will be liberal in
contributions. The following are the

To the Editor Of The Dispatch:
We desire, in reply to Mr.. I. Wiley
Davis and for the information OF MIR.
Beisen, secretary of the Carpenters
Brotherhood of this city, TO say that we
have paid our iourneymen for full time
during the winter months without any
deduction whatever, and that we are
heartily in accord with their union,
and have not only acceded to their de-
mand for nine hours, but have given
them ten hours pay. We hope the time
is not far distant when oil others in bust
ness will accede to their demand, for
of all the poor mechanics they are the
poorest paid in proportion to skill and
responsibility. Respectfully,
